And here's this month's second round of Scrapbook! Take a look at both before you decide which one to donate to~

( check out our 55th theme under here! )

It's been a long time since I've done a modly post! :D I'll be posting two of these at once, actually, but remember that you can still only pick one to donate to.

( check out our 54th theme under here! )

Shirocchi is a little more relaxed than his partner here - Kurocchi is all fired up and ready to go! She thinks we need a little bit more physical activity going on here, so how about a scavenger hunt?

( Join the scavenger hunt! )

Like all of the other Olympics games, you and your teammates have until August 22nd to complete this task! Good luck to all of you, and may the best team come out victorious! ♥

This game is now closed! Thank you to everyone for participating, and I wish you all the best of luck in the closing ceremonies!

Murasaki-dono's Flower Arrangement

Murasaki-dono has been tasked with arranging a flower garden for the Colors anniversary backyard party! Since she has eight different colored flowers, she asked each member of the Colors household to give her their opinion on how each of them should be planted. She asked Tobi-han to ask everyone what they thought, but the information she received back from him wasn’t quite detailed enough...

This is a logic-based puzzle that takes a bit of thinking! Based on all of the information that you'll be reading in just a moment, you’ll need to figure out where each character wants their flowers planted in the numbered grid - er, flower garden- and how many of each flower there should be!

( More information, and your clues! )

Lastly, all of the anniversary games are playable until June 30th, so please make sure you give me your answers by then! :D

(Quick art by me! :3c)

This round is laaaate oops, sorry guys! But hopefully today's game round will make up for it!

Gin-sensei's "40"

... no, I'm not saying that Gin-sensei is 40 years old! That's just the name of the game! Gin, what's that behind your back...

40 is, simply put, Colors TCG Blackjack! :D In this game, you'll have three chances to play a round of 40 against Gin-sensei, and try to win the Countdown08 card! This is an interactive game that requires both the player and myself to comment back more than once. I'll do my best to be timely with my responses, so please be patient and don't forget to come back here yourself >w<

( Rules under the cut - PLEASE READ THIS! )

This game is open until June 30th! Any games that have been started will be finished up, but you can't start a new round after the date is rolled over, so GET IN HERE NOW :D

Hey there, Colors! Time for me to kick off this year's anniversary event with our first of many awesome games! (Well... technically, there was already one day posted, but Mikan-tan thinks posting a comment is waaay too easy. You're gonna have to WORK for your Countdown deck cards from here on out. >D)


(Very fittingly-themed art by ratiosu!)

Anniversary Day 2 - Art Lessons with Mikan-tan

Mikan-tan, who looks up to Rukia as a great mentor, has been practicing some art on her own! The only problem is... she's not too good at it either. She's attempted to draw her own versions of some of the Colors cards, but they didn't come out quite right. Hopefully they're still recognizable!

This game works exactly like Art Lessons with Rukia! All you have to do is identify the three redrawn cards below - if you can!

01) 02) 03)

You'll earn one random card for each card you can identify - as an added bonus, you'll receive countdown02 for identifying at least one card correctly!

To play this game, you'll need to link me to your rewards collecting thread from day one, so make sure you've posted a comment first! I can't hand out your prizes if you don't have a thread.

All of the Anniversary games are playable until June 30th, so don't forget to answer by then! You can't get these countdown cards any other way, so don't miss out on these games ♥

Congratulations to the seven diligent players who completed all of last month's PoG tasks! They are: shamuon, arushiraoi, ulquiorrasch, love_michiyuki, moon_wolfwriter, yamanaika and futachimaru! I hope all of you will participate again this time around ♥

The object of the Pot of Gold is to complete different "tasks" that will be different every month. You'll get small rewards for completing them individually, but receive bonuses if you manage to complete all of them. How much of the rainbow can YOU complete? :D

( Rules and the tasks for this month~! :D )

This round closes on March 1st! Remember to submit your comments before then, or they will not be accepted, no exceptions! :3 This round is closed! Thanks to everyone who participated~

And here is round 29~ Round 28 went up right before this, so make sure you check them both out! If you contribute to one, you cannot contribute to the other.

( Click to find out what our 29th theme is! )

This round will hopefully be done in time for the January release! Round 29 is closed! Thanks for all your donations, everyone :D Look forward to seeing this deck in the new release! If you still haven't participated, head on over to Round 28!

Merry early Christmas, everyone! I thought Skie did such a great job with Scrapbook last month, so I asked if I could try my hand at it too. So here's round 28, and I'll be posting round 29 right afterward! Make sure you check them both out first before you pick, because you can only contribute to one of the rounds.

( Click to find out what our 28th theme is! )

This round will hopefully be done in time for the January release! We're all finished here, guys! Thanks for participating, and I'm glad I had the opportunity to try modding Scrapbook! It was a lot of fun~

Whoops, a little late in the day! Both of my advent calendar days ended up being days that I worked all day :( Oh well, still on time!

Today's topic is:

Which character are you most like?

I'm totally copying myself from last year, but I think this is a fun topic! Do you have a character that you think is similar in personality to you, or one that you can relate closely to? How about a character that you can really sympathize with? If you answered this last year, have you found a new character that you can also relate to, or has your answer stayed the same?

If you can't think of one, how about a character that looks like you? You can visit this website and enter details that describe you, and find character that may or may not resemble you! It's actually kind of fun, haha~

For answering this, you may take one choice special card! Make sure you note in your comment which card you're taking.

BONUS: Additionally, this day has a bonus round! All you have to do is find someone else's comment on this post, and let them know in a reply which character they remind you of. Maybe you've always thought one of our mods reminds you of a certain character? Hmm, who can say... In any case, for doing this, you may also take one #20 choice character card. That can be from any character deck as long as the card number is 20! Please include this in the right comment so that nobody gets confused.

Lastly, like all of our advent calendar events, this round will end on December 31st, so make sure you get all your comments in by then.

Woo, less than 10 days until Christmas! :D Today's topic is:

Favorite Anime/Manga Pets and Mascots!

Animals are a super diverse subject when it comes to anime! Some characters just have normal animals for pets, while some have robotic or magical creatures accompanying them. Which ones are your favorite? Are there any that you wish could be your own pet?

The prize for this round is one choice character card featuring an animal or mascot! (Character cards featuring a human character holding their companions (example) do NOT count; it must be from a character deck featuring the mascot itself (eg; the Wish deck). However, if the mascot happens to have a human form in one of their cards, those are fine!) Please make sure you note what you're taking in your comment.

And like the rest of the Advent Calendar days, you may comment up until December 31st!

Thanks to Shadowy for the art!

Gin-sensei is pretty good at making strange inventions. But what intrigues him the most are items or weapons with magical properties - he just goes crazy researching these kind of things! Below, he's gathered a group of items that he so far knows nothing about... not even their names. Maybe you can tell him what these things are!

( List of items here! )

Please tell me the names of these four items, the name of their owner/wielder (if applicable), and the series they come from! You'll also need to link me to your reward collecting thread so I can give you your prizes. The prizes will be:

1 correct: 2 random cards
2 correct: 1 random card and anniversary18
3 correct: 2 random cards and anniversary18
4 correct: 3 random cards and anniversary18

You've still got until June 30th to answer all of these games! But hurry up, the month is already almost over o_o Unbelievable, huh?

Thanks for the art, Chuu!

I hope you guys are all enjoying the anniversary event so far! :D Shirocchi has been having a lot of fun watching the Colors cast with their events, but there's been something on his mind lately. Aren't cute mascots like him supposed to be accompanied by a magical girl? Sure, he's got Gin-sensei, but... well, he just doesn't think he'd look good in all those ribbons and lace. So, it's up to you guys to help Shirocchi find the perfect companion!

Today's game is simple, with a nice prize if you can pull it off correctly! All you need to do is turn in one card of a magical girl character. You can find a (hopefully complete) list of magical girl series right here!

- The character must be female (sorry, magical boys!), but it doesn't matter if you turn in a card from the same deck as somebody else.
- It also doesn't matter when or how you earned the card!
- You are losing the card you turn in, but all cards go to Recycled Art at the end of the month.

Rewards: One choice character card of the same number as the card you turn in, plus anniversary09.

Please comment here with your card, the card name, your logs, and which choice card you would like. You have until June 30th to get your cards in!

I'm a week late to be saying this-- but, since I'm sure you all know by now, I will be permanently handing over two of my games to other mods. I'll be keeping Poke Radar, though! Thank you to Zags and Hana for handling my other two games for me, and to every member who enjoyed playing my old rounds of Graffiti and Crazy Colors! It was a lot of fun ♥



Here we have yet another not-Pokemon for you to identify! This one reminds me of the Pokemon Trapinch - except, it has a tendency to bite down on people's hands. o_o Seriously, look at those teeth... ouch.

Tell me the name of this cat and the series it comes from for two random cards. This round ends on May 3rd!

Last round's answers: The three Pokemon were Gastly, Mismagius and Frillish, which are all Ghost-types!

The new Graffiti will be up later tonight, also! Sorry for my almost week-long lateness! ;w;

This week's starting card:


(President05, yellow)


This week's bonuses:
☆ The first person to play a special card will win one extra random card. Won here!

This round ends on April 20th! Closed! Thank you for playing ♥

It's time for an extra-special round of Poke Radar! I hope it's not too hard.

Can you believe the luck- not only did we find a Pokemon this time, we found three! It's impossible to identify them when they're so close together like that, though... Can you tell me which ones they are?

Tell me the name of all three Pokemon pictured for two random cards.

HINT/BONUS: All of these Pokemon share a type! Tell me the type for one bonus card!

This round closes on April 20! The next round will likely be posted on time.

Today, we ran into this Pokemon that was flying through the sky, but it took off before I could get a good look! It seemed like someone was riding on its back, anyway... aww, they should have stopped to have a battle. :'(

Tell me the name of this creature and the series it comes from for two random cards! EDIT: Several people have commented with the SPECIES name, while this particular one does have a name given to it! The given name is the one I'd like, not just the species name.

... Okay. Forget catching 'em all- I just want THIS ONE. It's so cute I can't handle it ;A; -- Please tell me it's actually a Pokemon? No?

I'd like the name of this character and the series it comes from, and your prize will be two random cards like normal! This round closes on April 4th!

Last round's answer: Knuckles the Echidna, from the Sonic the Hedgehog series.
